About

In the Spring of 2013 Northwest music veteran Peter Benjamin will be releasing his second full-length solo album The Victorian. A much anticipated follow-up to his 2009 debut For Your Enjoyment & Leisure, The Victorian features nine tracks ranging from the lush, alt. country/indie rock 'The Victorian' and 'We Came From Montesano,' a tribute to his hometown, to such instantly identifiable indie pop-rock numbers like 'Born To Love' and 'You're Ready To Break.'

Initially, The Victorian will strike audiences as familiar indie-rock thematic territory with it's recurrent themes of a frustrated love-a failed romance. On a deeper level though, The Victorian, like much of Benjamin's music, expresses the often bittersweet chronicle of the generation X-er moving through adulthood and charts for the listener the emotional topography of a man coming to terms with the ascetic life he's chosen for himself.

As a performer, Peter Benjamin delivers a unique and powerful blend of indie-pop rock and soulful Americana. His lyric and melodically driven artistry evokes contemporary pop and rock artists such as Jack white, Adele, Gotye, and John Mayer as well as the indie/alt. country sounds of Ryan Adams, Feist, Ray LaMontaigne, and My Morning Jacket. As a songwriter, Benjamin also owes much of his style to the pop sensibilities of prolific and iconic tunesmiths like Billy Joel, Sting, and Phil Collins.

The years between solo releases has found Benjamin lending his production expertise and distinctive guitar style to popular Northwest alternative country rock outfit The Sammy Steele Band. The regional favorite released it's first full-length record last December to sold-out Seattle and Tacoma audiences and continues to spread it's high-octane southern rock sound throughout the Northwest and beyond. In the early 2000's, Peter co-founded (along with Terry Mattson of Seattle's The Outlaws, a Waylon Tribute, and Colin Richey of Hey Marceilles) Seattle-based post-alternative group Edisyn, who enjoyed status as indie-underground favorite and Seattle club scene staple from 2003 to 2008. Edisyn authored three critically-acclaimed releases to a notoriously fickle Seattle original music scene before parting ways.

Benjamin is at home performing for a wide range of audiences including all ages festivals, clubs, special events, etc., carefully (and artistically) crafting his program material to each event. This often includes adding a healthy dose of exciting, dance-able cover songs to his sets designed to give audiences additional context for the original music as well as greater insight into the influences from which he draws.
